Help with Remote Start choices

Yeah, I just found this thread. Looks like I found my system! https://www.tundras.com/threads/fortin-evo-one-remote-start.16061/page-8

Thanks everyone for the replies.

 

You will love it. I liked it so much i installed it in my dd camry. Great thing about evo 1 is that can use your original fob or you can use their RF remote that plugs right in. Im not sure if you can use the RF remote and phone app at the same time though, it may use the same port. Just email aderson if you have any questions, he is pretty good at replying.

 

Cool, I think I will get the https://mycarcontrols.com/ before winter. My replace my broken Viper in the Jeep as well.

 

So is mycar and drone basically verizon and sprint for cars? And i can just choose what mobile app i want to install?

 

Just got a call from my guy in my area. He said he would cut me a deal on the 2018 tundra remote start setup if i bought serveral units. He also has for 2014-2017 as well

It is the compustar version no cutting plug and play setup. $200. If you want the drone module it would be another 100. Any interest as i would have to get at least 3 sets.

 

I may be interested in the Compustar for mine, what model is it?

 

You can use the lock button 3 times. Or use this remote which ever you prefer. But if you get the drone module than you can do it all off your phone

biggest drawback of drone is the cost either monthly/yearly for just remote start/lock/unlock and don't even try to do the upgraded plan pricing.

the cost is just out of line compared to cheaper systems, even ones that use the same compustar remote start module but interface with a different backend.

 

I was on Drones website and its cheaper to do the yearly plan which than makes it better.

$129 for 3 years is great in my opinion. I always have my phone nearby and my neighbor does the park and ride. So he can start his truck 15 mins before he gets to the train station. There are ups and downs on everything just like the Andriod unit. But worth it for the right situation.

The Compustar system uses At&T network with LTE so the service will be there. Other drone services you need to see who they use for servicein your area like tmobil etc

 

only issue is that cost. $130 for 3yrs vs mine at $60 for 3yrs and it gives gps location which the drone basic doesn't give you.
to get gps on drone you have to step up to the next tier which is $120 for 1yr or $300 for 3yrs

 

What starter do you have and which drone provider is it?

 

I just reread what you wrote in the beginning. So i can use a compustar remote system and drone module but use mycar for service?

 

Just wanted to report back, I installed my Evo-One last night. Took little over an hour all said and done. All plug and play, didn't tap the wire for the key sense 2017 with "factory alarm". Just need to get my cell module.

 

Is it the Drone DR5400?

 

Im not sure. Im confused if you get the drone service. If you get it from MYCAR or dronemobile

 

The dealership put in a Viper in my tundra. I had to take it back to there installer because th alarm kept going off. Seems to be working fine-now. I like the ability to work it with the phone.
